direct-io: only inc/dec inode->i_dio_count for file systems
do_blockdev_direct_IO() increments and decrements the inode ->i_dio_count for each IO operation. It does this to protect against truncate of a file. Block devices don't need this sort of protection. For a capable multiqueue setup, this atomic int is the only shared state between applications accessing the device for O_DIRECT, and it presents a scaling wall for that. In my testing, as much as 30% of system time is spent incrementing and decrementing this value. A mixed read/write workload improved from ~2.5M IOPS to ~9.6M IOPS, with better latencies too. Before: clat percentiles (usec): | 1.00th=[ 33], 5.00th=[ 34], 10.00th=[ 34], 20.00th=[ 34], | 30.00th=[ 34], 40.00th=[ 34], 50.00th=[ 35], 60.00th=[ 35], | 70.00th=[ 35], 80.00th=[ 35], 90.00th=[ 37], 95.00th=[ 80], | 99.00th=[ 98], 99.50th=[ 151], 99.90th=[ 155], 99.95th=[ 155], | 99.99th=[ 165] After: clat percentiles (usec): | 1.00th=[ 95], 5.00th=[ 108], 10.00th=[ 129], 20.00th=[ 149], | 30.00th=[ 155], 40.00th=[ 161], 50.00th=[ 167], 60.00th=[ 171], | 70.00th=[ 177], 80.00th=[ 185], 90.00th=[ 201], 95.00th=[ 270], | 99.00th=[ 390], 99.50th=[ 398], 99.90th=[ 418], 99.95th=[ 422], | 99.99th=[ 438] In other setups, Robert Elliott reported seeing good performance improvements: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/4/3/557 The more applications accessing the device, the worse it gets. Add a new direct-io flags, DIO_SKIP_DIO_COUNT, which tells do_blockdev_direct_IO() that it need not worry about incrementing or decrementing the inode i_dio_count for this caller.
